Solartron Metrology LVDT, ±25mm stroke -40°C +150°C, 5V dc

Optimum Series LVDT Sensors

The optimum series of LVDT sensors are high performance sensors ideal for use in process control and research applications, the 9.52 mm diameter of these sensors make them an ideal choice where space is limited.

Linear Variable Differential Transformers (LVDT)

These devices comprise a movable nickel iron core and three coils - one for energisation and two for pick-up. They need to be driven by a sine wave to produce an output amplitude and phase directly proportional to the position of the core with respect to the pick-up coils. A phase sensitive detector is required to demodulate the output signal. The main advantages of LVDTs are;

No wear problems as with potentiometersInfinite resolution, high accuracy and linearityNo friction introduced into the measured systemAvailable in ranges from ±1mm to ±50mm
